From the Philippine Information Agency (Apr 19): Renovated Cavite Naval Hospital OPD opens

The newly renovated Out-Patient Department of the Cavite Naval Hospital here was recently inaugurated and turned-over by benefactor, SM Foundation Inc.

The renovated facility is located at the back of the hospital that caters to about 100 patients a day include clinics for prenatal care, ob-gynecology care, family planning, well baby, bone and joint, osteoporosis, physical therapy/rehabilitation medicine, ophthalmology and ENT, diabetes, anti-TB (DOTS) program and psychiatric evaluation/management.

The hospital is the first military facility to use the PN MedICS (Philippine Navy Medical Information Computerized System) software provided by the Makati Medical Center Foundation, Inc, (MMCFI) and Ideaspace. The said software is a web-based electronic medical records system that would make the hospital patient-friendly because patients attended to by the facility would no longer undergo time-consuming routine examinations with which their medical history records already contain.

The renovation project is the first partnership between SM Foundation, Inc. (SMFI) and the Makati Medical Center Foundation, Inc, (MMCFI) headed by Marge Macasaet Barro and Ideaspace headed by Butch Meily.

Cavite Naval Hospital is the 136th Wellness Center and the 24th military facility which SMFI helped rehabilitate.

SM Foundation Executive Director for Health and Medical Programs, Ms. Connie Angeles committed for the continued support of the building’s care and maintenance and stated that, “This is our way to help the men in uniform who serve our country. We are your partners.”

On the other hand, Flag Officer in Command of the Philippine Navy, Vice Admiral Robert Empedra AFP, on behalf of the naval force expressed his gratitude for the project that greatly enhance the quality of their medical services.

Likewise, Commanding Officer of CNH, Capt. Ma. Jessica Vallanca, said that the service upgrade will certainly boost the morale of military personnel, their dependents and civilians.
